Stable Build 81.4.195

The last update is horrible. I am upset as well and I see no hope that it will get fixed by dropbox. I have been workinng with the sales team to upgrade to a premium service and now i think i am going to pull the plug as this last update has made dropbox useless to me.

they have been emailing everyone in my office too to upgrade.. they are dreaming if they are getting more money from me.

Dear Dropbox, if anyone is listening.. STOP this forced update craziness , test your update, before you totally FXXKs someone's business who placed trust in your service 

this is worse than getting malware.. malware I can restore and move on.. 

they update simply a f-ing joke! 

I had also problems with stucking on connecting state & crashing after few minutes even after a clean install. After installing an old build (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-79-4-143/td-p/360015) without deinstalling the current version, dropbox restarts and autoupdate himself - after this its start working again! Hope this helps someone!

I can really empathize with what everyone's going through here, db's new desktop client/forced update release has wreaked havoc on my workflow and their tech support is absolutely abysmal! I've bee dealing with this for 17 days now!!! Totally unacceptable for a paid premium service. 

I was able to find a workaround for my mac using a network filter to block db from updating itself. I use Little Snitch, https://www.obdev.at/littlesnitch/ but any network filter firewall should be able to handle this...

 I can't seem to share a screenshot here so here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/klhodtunga54r7u/Screenshot%202019-09-26%2011.23.32.png?dl=0

Hope this helps some of you folks get back to work, it did for me!

so I can't open any office files on the beta build without going local, "support" has had me reinstall about 6 times.  Now they are asking me to install  81.4.195  https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/bd-p/101003016

From the looks of this thread I'm kind of scared to do that.  Should I?

We are running Dropbox on a server for customers who use a RemoteApp and save their files in the dropbox folder.

Since the last update Dropbox just stops working every other day and we have to kill the task and restart it completely so it starts synchronising again.

Please fix this asap or we'll have to move to other applications.

Thanks.

@omdreamer are you able to revert your Dropbox version back on your Mac? If so, please share! I have the same issue, on MBP 10.12.6 Sierra.

move to other file sharing app. I am looking into it already

I guess I am late coming to this thread but I wanted to add my 2-bits worth since I was having similar problems. Except mine was much more severe; Dropbox was crashing my modem which threw all devices off the Internet including shutting down my TVs. And I tried over and over to fix it, including going to my service provider (I thought possibly the modem was done) and Dropbox for help. Nothing. Lots of back and forth but no solutions. Then today it started to work properly, with no hint that there was ever anything wrong. And I do see I now have a new version 82.4.155 installed yesterday (2019-10-3) according to Control Panel. WTF? The tech from Dropbox never said a word to me through many emails about a new version. I guess even they don't know what goes on inside Dropbox!!!
